A Mount Laguna must!
It's hard to beat this campground for easy access to the PCT trails in Mount Laguna. Perfect for hiking and/or trail running (mountain bikes not allowed on the PCT). Family and pet-friendly spot. We had a really nice stay here. The sites were huge and well spread out. Spring and fall are the best times to visit, although late summer and winter can be quiet and lovely too.
